Down 4-1, the Blackhawks rallied back with Logan Mazziota and Marcelino firing in goals making it a 4-3 game. With their lead fading, the Bruins scoring machine, Ryan Griffin, outdueled the Blackhawks’ defense to notch his fifth goal of the bout as Cifuentes picked up his third assist. Leading 5-3, the Bruins were quickly reeled back in as the Hawks’ Declan McCormick continued to shine in his debut by netting his second goal, this time off an assist from Alexandra Soliman.
